Many member* of both the senate

that they prefer s recess for the po

Inurnment and this may cause a
change in the plans as tentatively
agreed on.
Final decision as between a recess
or an adojumment, it was said might
hang fire until the last moment. In a
conference with the senate leaders,
however, Reprsentatlve Mondell is un
derstood to have 'been advised to go
